University of Manitoba Ordered to Pay $2.4M for Unfair Labour Practices

The Manitoba Labour Board has ordered the University of Manitoba to pay $2.4 million after ruled it acted unfairly and illegally in bargaining with the university’s faculty association during the fall of 2016.

The U of M must pay the association up to $2,000, plus each of its members $2,000.

“Instead of bargaining fairly with us, the University followed the Pallister government’s orders and forced faculty out on the picket lines, disrupted student schedules and postponed exams,” said UMFA president Janet Morrill.
